HD’s Gut Feeling

The Flames have lost 14 straight games in Duckburg, time to end the streak when it matters most. The last 7 losses in Amnaheim have been by 1 goal. Leland Irving is expected to get the start, he has never faced the Ducks so the streak doesn’t matter to him. 3-1 Flames – Iginla, Tanguay & Stajan
